The Sellier & Bellot .308 Win 147 Grain FMJ ammunition is designed for high-volume target shooting, zeroing, and tactical rifle training. Loaded with a 147-grain (9.55 g) Full Metal Jacket projectile featuring a lead core and a CuZn 10 tombac jacket, this centrefire cartridge prevents barrel leading and delivers dependable cycling in both bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles chambered in .308 Winchester or 7.62×51mm. Each cartridge produces a muzzle velocity of 850 m/s (2,788 fps) and a muzzle energy of 3,450 J from a standard 600 mm proof barrel. Supplied in 50-round boxes, the rounds feature factory-drawn, Boxer-primed non-corrosive brass cases that can be reloaded after firing.
